Mongkol, a Cambodian blogger, sent us this lovely New Year's card. We'd like to wish everyone a happy New Year! We hope to attend the celebration at the Watt in RI over the weekend. I will do some video blogging and take photos. At last year's Cambodian New Year's celebration, I created this video and it is my most viewed one on YouTube. If you are curious Cambodia New Year, you can learn about it here - a curriculum and materials I created for other adoptive parents so they could bring the Khmer celebration into their children's classrooms. I need to brush up, especially how to drap the white prayer scarf.

The Northeaster will keep us from the outdoor service - and this one is smaller - less overwhelming for the kids
